It is and it has your HM12 mic.. Plus the tune up from DTB just today... Like I said, I thought I wanted SSB but I dont think Id use it now honestly. Live and learn...
Email sent tucker.
I talked local today with it and everyone said I sounded good... Then I caught some dx on channel 6. Motormaul from west coast and Capital 1 ( I think... ) from Jamaica? It was pretty cool. I dont know if that was the Radio or the antenna.
I cannot for the life of me get any contacts on LSB...
He did, but he didnt tell me much of what he was doing... He did adjust it and kept messing with it over and over ( assuming adjusting the pots. )
But honestly, I dont think Id use the SSB much. This may end up forsale here shortly in change for a non SSB radio.
I think Im going to need...
Okay I was on standard CB, not SSB. I went to DTB today and he checked my antenna system and said it was okay. He also went thru the radio and did all of the checks etc that he does. I dont know what the final wattage was though... He did say the mod was down a bit I think but the power was...
I cant even talk to my cousin about 5-7 miles away.
Say conditions are good, whats the max distance on the Optima in CB?
All day I kept hearing a guy complain about this and that, and I wanted to put my input... I couldnt. He couldnt even hear me, or maybe he was ignoring me?

Thanks Capt. Its rg-58 3' patch cable.
On a side note, is it worth updating my Wilson1000 coax to an upgraded coax? Its an original USA made one, which is said to be better than the newer ones... I just dont know how much the co-ax is hindering anything if at all.
Here is my situation. where I have the radio mounted, the Wilson 1000's coax length is prefect. But I dont have enough room to get my SWR meter in there. Is there a patch/extender cable I can buy to extend the Wilson's coax ( the patch would have to be female like the radio and then male on the...
So I finally received my Optima from RCdistrubiting on ebay ( took over 1 mth ), but thats another story..
I set my the Wilson 1000 up grounded the radio to a bolt into the floor close but. I also made up a 12ga power wire from the battery to the radio, both the pos. and neg. go to the...
Damn that thing looks funny haha. Different style mic versus the HM-36?
edited: Duster, I think you said ( somewhere on the forums ) that one mc-46 mic is the same one Dave at Yeticom uses?
